"As a writer of books for boys, commend us above all men living to Captain Mayne Reid! Wherever his new book goes this new year, there will be abundant delight for hours of reading, and plenty to talk of by the evening fire. Toils and adventures, dangers, darings and sufferings are narrated in the most vivid manner--thoroughly fascinating the mind of the reader, and retaining it in fixed and eager attention till a crisis of some kind is reached. Take our word for it, boy friends, if you become Captain Mayne Reid's 'boy readers' on our recommendation, you will thank us for it with all your hearts, and praise the book more enthusiastically than we have done."--_Nonconformist._
